This is a face to face meeting of the Generic Names Supporting Organization's (GNSO) 'thick' Whois Policy Development Process Working Group. This Working Group has been tasked to provide the GNSO Council with a policy recommendation regarding the use of 'thick' Whois by all gTLD Registries, both existing and future. The WG has been working on obtaining input from GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, as well as other ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees on this topic. In addition, the WG created a number of sub-teams that have been reviewing some of the topics that the WG has been tasked to address per its charter (see 3. WG Charter).
